Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 8 oz. lean ground beef
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- ¼ cup matchstick carrots
Noodles
- 8 oz. thin wheat noodles (spaghetti)
Sauces and Seasonings
- 1 tbsp soy sauce + 1 tbsp soy sauce (divided)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice cooking wine
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the thin wheat noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Brown the beef: Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Sauté the vegetables: Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic, chopped celery, thinly sliced red onion, and matchstick carrots to the beef in the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, salt, and sugar. Stir and sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Combine noodles with beef and vegetables: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the meat and vegetable mixture.
- Prepare and add finishing sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, rice cooking wine, and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Pour this sauce over the noodle mixture in the skillet.
- Simmer and serve: Stir the entire mixture well to coat all ingredients with the sauce. Allow it to simmer for 1 more minute to meld flavors before serving hot.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce grease and keep the dish lighter.
- Adjust soy sauce and salt levels to taste depending on salt preference.
- For extra crunch, add sliced bell peppers or snap peas along with the other vegetables.
- You can substitute spaghetti with rice noodles for a more traditional Asian touch.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat quickly in a skillet.
